PPF2 Released

I've just released the PPF2 (get it at the usual place). This patch will upgrade the ISO to Rev1.

The highlight features are:-Voodoo 1.0 RevA Kernel (many thanks to the Voodoo XNU team for their work!!). It is also used to boot the DVD installer and thanks to its on-the-fly patching I hope the ISO can work on AMD cpus too! (I can not test this. AMD users please test)-DSDT patcher (by fassl) is integrated on the installer; it will generate a DSDT.aml file that will be load in the first boot with the right bootloader. (be aware that the patcher doesnt work with all the mobos/laptops; check the Install log to see if the patching succeeded or not)-PCEFI 9 (by netkas) and Chameleon with smbios and dsdt override (by mackerintel)

The PPF has the undo data just in case something is wrong. Also theres a alternative kernel in the root of the ISO (which doesnt support AMD patching); If you have any problems starting the installer try booting with: -mach_kernel_2. Also please read the topics linked above to understand how the new features works...
